Raise your standards.

I’d love for my standards to be a “normal house” worth over a million dollars…

But my uncle didn’t start a giant media company and name it after genocide a to hand me a platform…

But to be honest I probably would have turned it down and wouldn’t have been interning for him in the first place

I wish people cared as much about what politicians had to say as nepo twitch streamers who claim to be communist while streaming from a literal West Hollywood mansion…

Yes…

Clearly the account doing drive by insults is the mature one…

When a model is mid-sentence, it doesn’t know “the next word.” It has a shortlist, like autocomplete, with preferences. Here’s a real kind of moment, one word from the end of a sentence:

Each roll sweeps the shortlist, lands on one word (odds matching the bars) and drops it into the sentence above. The dots tally where the rolls land: try ×20 and watch the pile take the shape of the odds. Notice what never changes: every landing makes a perfectly good sentence. A page of text contains hundreds of these little forks, one per word, and at many of them several options are equally fine. That slack is the raw material. Whoever gets to lean on how the dice land can hide a pattern in the text without changing what it says.

To beat it, prompt: don’t just use the first word pick, choose options further down list for next word.

Best of luck with your future questions, I hope someone helps you.

Read the article and if you still have questions I may be able to answer them

So this can be defeated as easily as prompting the chatbot to not always pick the top word and to introduce different options…

Anything a chatbot can check, can be beat by telling the original to pay attention to that…

We’re just spinning our fucking wheels and burning more and more energy.

This tech is pointless

But I don’t own my performance. I’m contracted to do a job, and the person who owns it gets to decide what happens with it.

What he says always make sense till you realize how fucking wealthy he is…

Like we got union workers refusing to build data centers, and a multimillionaire who says “gotta do anything for a check” like his family is starving…

WB paid Cena, and that’s all he cares about

Meanwhile they got a massive tax break, and now get to make money off it again.

The only thing people should be talking about is where’s the tax money they owe society

Finally some truth in advertising…

Not a movie but:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6dC80AEawE

That’s an hour and 15 minute episode of The Chris Gethard Show, guest staring Jason Mantazokus and Paul Scheer.

The point is they try to guess what’s in a dumpster, which sounds stupid.

But it is absolutely the best thing to watch “blind” for the first time.

It’s ten years old but you’re unlikely to have heard of it, and they just did a 10 year anniversary show like a week ago, that’s not as good but you might want to watch it after the original.

Now, the caveat, which the authors state plainly and which deserves stating plainly here, too: The dark matter densities this requires are far greater than anything astronomers actually expect dark matter to reach. This is not a claim about objects out there in the sky, but more of a thought experiment with the mathematics filled in.

The best thing movie goers can do, is stop worshipping distributers like A24, most of “their” movies people love, were already made and winning film festivals before A24 even heard about them.

We need to start supporting the writers/directors/actors/crew who make these amazing films on shoestring budgets for almost no pay.

Not Uncle moneybags who buys it for a few million and then makes hundreds of millions back when people watch it in theaters.

Like, I’d hate to do the math for how many movies with the budget of Obsession/backrooms we could have gotten for a single Spiderman.

But large studios want a handful of movies everyone watches.

made a billion faster than any movie in history

Super glad you’re starting to realize what inflation is buddy…

20 years ago you could legitimately buy a $3 afternoon ticket to a movie.

Now people are legitimately dropping $20-30 for a single ticket…

Yes, gross sales will continue to go up, that is because they raise ticket price to compensate for low sales, which further depresses sales, requiring them to further raise prices.

Like…

It’s not that what you’re saying is incorrect, you just don’t even realize you’re talking about a different topic.

Lol…

second quarter financial results where Cineplex swung to a profit and higher overall revenues on box office draws like The Odyssey and Michael, in addition to younger audiences embracing breakout horror pics in Obsession and Backrooms.

So…

1. The Odyssey, shot on film with practical effects by the biggest director of his generation.

2. Michael, about the largest popstar ever

3. Obsession, cheap Indie film with practical effects

4. Backreoms, cheap Indie film with practical effects

People are just tired of green screen mass appeal slop.

Give them the option of anything else, and people are desperate for that and are willing to put up with the movie theater experience again.

No one wants to pay $30 to watch a superhero movie that will be on streaming in a month and spends a third of it’s run time setting up projects that may never materialize.

The takeaway should be “start making better movies again”.

What’s absolutely wild to me, is that some people are 100% ok with corporations abusing loopholes with shit like these “ebikes”, they see exploiting loopholes as normal business and consider a corporation smart for doing it…

But when governments do the rational thing and move to close the loophole, suddenly that is a problem.

Like, not closing loopholes is why shit is so fucked up, because they never stop looking for more loopholes. If we never close them, they just keep accumulating.

Sometimes that means laws get more complicated, sometimes that means we throw out a bunch of exceptions and simplify the law.

“Human powered vehicle” is pretty fucking clear cut line, and one that should be obvious to designate who can use a “bike lane” or not.

If an ebike can go 35, so can most 2 stroke scooters/mopefs, and theyve always driven with cars and not bicycles. So don’t let electric vehicles go where we already decided gas vehicles can’t go.

It was never about the source of the motors power, that’s been a loophole this whole time.

On Windows they own the OS, so wacky folders that you can’t touch even with the highest admin rights isn’t a stretch, but good luck with that on Linux.

They third party authenticate thru the Xbox app and “gaming services”. (The issue here, is even for games bought in Steam or other launchers, if it’s a Microsoft game, it needs this. So the concern is this isn’t optional for Linux, it’ll be a requirement to run any Microsoft game)

If/when there’s an issue, you can’t really do anything, and Microsoft support is just chatbots.

Even something as simple as a “repair” or reinstall. Depending on where the process broke, it could be a huge headache manipulating the two into a state they can be repaired.

It’s bad enough I’m not buying any Microsoft games, even tho I resolved my own issues, it could just happen again at any time. And I just don’t want to deal with the potential hassle.

If they ever release a new fallout/ES, I’ll take the time to see if it’s still an issue.

It’s so weird when people who use chatbots, think they’re somehow better than other people who use chatbots…

And that the 99.99% of the populations who hates chatbots for valid reasons, want to hear from one chatbot user, about how other chatbot users are dumb.

Is this a retroactive piece?

Slovaj looks 30 years younger in that poster than any interview I’ve ever seen…

Killing coyotes just make the problem worse…

A pack is a set of parents, and pups.

While together , only the parents keep reproducing. Their daughters experience sympathy labor that’s supposed to be insanely realistic. But as long as they’re with their parent they’re not mating and not reproducing

If/when one of the parent die, the pack splits up and they all start their own packs.

So if you see a pack of 6 coyotes, that’s one breeding pair.

Kill either of the biggest, and now you have 2.5 breeding pairs, and the coyote population starts increasing even faster.

Evolutionarily speaking, it’s a very good system to prevent overpopulation.

When they face selective pressure, reproduction increases. When nothing is killing them, their population can (somewhat) manage itself.

So the only way we can deal with coyote population, is catch and release spay and neuter.

Anything else just makes more coyotes. If killing coyotes meant less coyotes, they’d be extinct by now. It has the opposite effect, which is why in 2026 we still have a coyote problem

When billionaires buy sports teams, we need to just find new sports teams…

I’ve always been more a player than a spectator, but I’ve had just as much watching local cub soccer/hockey games than going to an NFL game.

Hell of a lot cheaper too.

It’s Apple…

Not everyone with an iPhone is tech illiterate, but everyone who is tech illiterate has an iPhone

Those people might think that the only way for their data to get from one phone to another, is them typing a password onto the phone physically.

If they were offered this, they may realize that Apple could just clone their phone and everything on it.

Don’t forget how many social media savvy young celebrities had nudes leak a few years ago because they were iPhone users and iphones back everything up to the cloud by default. Most users most likely never realize that’s happening.
